Copriso

Financial Plan

We want to finance growth through increasing sales and enlarging our customer base.

Initial funding for the marketing effort will be crucial to long-term success.

The most important factor in our case is our low overhead and high margin.

We will attempt to maintain our pre-paid and COD business to further strengthen our cash position in the long run.

7.1 Important Assumptions

The financial plan depends on important assumptions, most of which are shown in the following table. The key underlying assumptions are:

We assume an immediate increase in sales.

We assume there are no dramatic changes in business printing needs.

We assume a constant growth in our long-term customer base.

We assume continued influx of new customers with our aggressive marketing and sales strategies.

We assume that the printing industry will continue to show a resilience against global economic factors as a non-discretionary commodity.
